Birds from Head to Tail
by Stacey Roderick
This book is a delightful and educational book perfect for a beginning reader and budding birder. The child can guess which bird each close-up belongs to – such as the bright blue feet of the Blue-footed Booby, the keen eyes of the Bald Eagle, the unusual body of the flightless Kiwi, or the long pink legs of the flamingo. While the guessing pages are easy to read, the following answer page provides lengthier fun facts for greater learning. There is also a bonus page about even more cool birds!

Bird Boy
by Matthew Burgess
This inclusive book shares a heartwarming story about a new boy at school who felt the safest in nature. He follows his true love of the outdoors, which of course includes birds. As he sat in the grass, birds began to visit him and he soon became known as “Bird Boy.” Taking that nickname to be a compliment, he imagines himself as different birds and develops confidence. Other kids recognized his kindness as well. The subtitle “Be true to who you are” is shown throughout this book and encourages kids to be confident in who they want to be.
